Gramps 5.2.3 on linux mint 21.3 Working on fixing old stupidity, I need to create source citations for events, that I didn’t put in, in the beginning of my research. It would be nice to have a list of events without source citations. Is that doable? ---

You could use the _Events with \ of sources_ filter (or smthg like that - in French: _Événements avec un \ de sources_) with equal to 0 parameters ---

From the Event view, show the filter gramplet and then follow the arrows to define a custom filter that matches all events have exactly 0 sources ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/b/b56a91df2f31bd9ef3a1894e106220caab838f29.png) Once you have defined this filter, remember to select it in the custom filter drop down list (by point number 2 in the picture). ---

Thanks a lot, I have never used custom filters before, so this was a great help /Kaj PS, but the result scared me - a lot of work to do ---

> [@kmikkels](#): > > PS, but the result scared me - a lot of work to do Good luck! It’s taken me several years to enter my previous research into gramps and add consistent citations and sources. ---

You can create the event filters specific to the Type: Birth, Marriage, Death each with the S/C count equals zero. `General Filters >> Events with ` Set the Type then add the rule `Citations/Source filters >> Events with sources` Set Equal to 0 You can create a similar filter for each event type you need. The list of filters also has a **Clone the selected filter** option so you can clone the first filter to create the second just changing the type option for the second. You can then go to the People list and create the Filter for `Event filters >> Person with events matching the ` Create this rule for each of the event filters you created. Just make sure to set the option, in the Define Filter window, to **At least one rule must apply**. Running this filter in the People list will return the people who have the events that need work. This works as described for events except Family events. You can do the same in Families creating a filter `Event filters >> Families matching ` To get marriage events added to the People filter use the rule `General filters >> People who are part of families matching ` Set the family filter and deselect Include children. ---

The Family Tree View addon has a very nice feature called “Badges”. One of the badges is “Number of events without citation”. Really useful. ---

I have the same ‘problem’ here in my own database. I did find the filter option very usefull. But indeed a lot of work to do now. ---
